Zulu's. Why did the British army lose the battle of Isandlwana

Project based lesson, designed to run over a few lessons. The first part focuses on theories behind the defeat, the second focuses on watching the film ‘Zulu Dawn’ so that students can build up more own knowledge to explain reasons for defeat of British. Third part focuses on comparing Isandlwana to Rorkes drift. The main focus is to look at causes and consequences and builds this in as an assessment. with tips on improving writing skills and gaining a higher level of answer. A really fun set of lessons, but you will need access to the two famous films (Zulu Dawn and Zulu) I use this resource with Year 8 over 3 or 4 lessons to build in literacy, independence and causation. They love it. Hope you do.
